MCP server for Xero API integration

VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyFinanceBusiness & Commerce

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that connects an AI assistant to the Xero cloud accounting API for bookkeeping-related work.

What you can do
Connect an assistant to the Xero accounting API through a locally run server, with broad API coverage claimed by the project. Configure authentication and the API endpoint through environment variables. Rely on built-in rate limiting, error handling and retry logic, with asynchronous calls for performance. The manifest lists no individual tools, so the exact operations available are not documented here.
When to use it
Worth considering when you use Xero for accounting and want an assistant to work with Xero data from your own machine, rather than through a hosted connector.
Requirements
A local Python runtime; the package is installed with pip or run with uvx. A Xero API key supplied in the XERO_API_KEY environment variable, and optionally an API URL in XERO_API_URL. Network access to the Xero API. Desktop use only.
Before you install
The server needs a Xero API key, which grants access to accounting data; keep it out of shared configuration and logs. The README claims broad API coverage, so operations may read or change financial records in your Xero organisation; confirm what each call does before running it. Data is sent to Xero's cloud service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Xero in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Score

40% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
